Thanks for the suggestion. Hardware failure was not something I had thought of.
To test, I put one empty .txt file in the root directory and another in the documents directory. Restarted from the menu and both files are still there.
So no immediate evidence of a memory failure.
Would reformatting with Kubrick be a good idea?
At the moment, using this Kindle with no usable homepage is a pretty dire experience so there wouldn't be much to lose with a fresh start.
